So, I'm in Yuma, Az now and the temps are nearing 100 degrees. When I just touch the gas peddle the truck flies!
I know cold air; due to the density of the air provides more oxygen. But, at these temps I feel like the 6.4L has more power.
Am I imagining this or have others experienced this...

Reg $4.50 now - what will it be with oil at 150?
I just got my new insurance rate for the coming year.
It went up 31.4%. From $1409 to 1849 - no accidents; no traffic tickets, nothing!
Now I am located in Florida and all insurance costs are going up due to hurricanes. Then there are the secondary costs that are going up - property...
Anyone have any info of the Fram Titanium Vs Fram Ultra Synthetic on flow rates? I searched and couldn't find any.

I've been reading good things about Balster Surface Shield.
Uses Lanolin base - same as Fluid Film but cost less.

So I bought some Lubegard for motor oil after reading about it here.
I put in 20 oz of Lubegard for 6.5 qts of PUP 0W40 as per the directions.
I've never had the hemi tick.
Based upon no quantifiable evidence:
Sound - a little quieter
Idle rpms - a little lower
Power - feels a little...
I have to replace the ignition switch (see picture) on my 2016 Ram 2500. I can still start the truck and go but the key does not stay in the module - I broke it. Now I just put the key in the module, turn to start and then put the key in the console and go.
I do not want to add a factory...
I've read many posts that people have changed their spark plugs at 100K and the plugs still look good.
I have 70K miles and looking to do all the maintenance I can. Will I see any benefits to changing the plugs now vs 100K?
Thanks
I replaced my shocks at 67K and I figured why not replace the steering dampener. I wasn't expecting much if anything.
Before replacing it when I took my hands off the steering wheel when going down a straight highway the truck would slowly wonder.
Now with the replacement - the truck...
These are regular maintenance items:
50,000 miles
Power Steering Fluid change - firmer wheel feel
Brake Fluid change - firmer peddle feel

I think we all hate dropping the pan and changing the transmission fluid.

I just changed my 4 shocks at 68K miles.
I was wondering about the Steering Stabilizer Shock and if I should replace it based on the mileage. It isn't leaking.
If changing what shock mfg do you recommend.
Thanks
PS - I have a 2016 2500 6.4l
4 Wheel Parts were having a sale on shocks so I got Rancho 9000XL for my truck. I have 68K miles on the truck with 35K towing. It was time and I was feeling a small something off in the front when turning slightly to the right. That could be either a shock, bearing or some other suspension...
I've owned my truck since new and have been towing a TT for 35K miles. Here is what is working for me.
